Creating Projects
Note: This document applies to the new version of the Projects section in the Design Center. For details on how to perform the same actions in the classic version, see Managing Projects > Creating Projects.
A project is a container for one or more AtScale logical cubes, plus the datasets the cubes are based on.
Projects allow you to share datasets and dimensions between a collection of similar cubes. For example, you may want to create a different cube for your marketing and product teams based on the same clickstream data. The project contains the physical datasets and logical dimensions that can be shared between the different cubes in the project.
To make a project available to BI client tools, you must publish it. To the BI client tools that connect to AtScale, a published project looks like a database and a published cube looks like a table in a database.
Viewing Projects
After you create one or more projects, they appear in the Projects pane in the Design Center. To view them, choose Projects in the top left part of the screen..
Creating Cubes
Most projects will have just one cube. In fact, when you create a new project in AtScale, it contains one default cube with the same name as the project. You can add a cube to a project when the project is in a draft state (not yet published). For details, see Add a New Cube.
